Professional Scrum Product Owner - Advanced
Professional Scrum Product Owner - Advanced (PSPO-A)
Whenever I work with an organization looking to transform to Agile, one of the first things we discuss is empowering the Product Owner. The Product Owner is a critical driver in the success of any Agile transformation. Their job is to maximize the product's value through the content and ordering of the Product Backlog. Organizations need a single person responsible for the product's strategy to succeed in delivering complex products. This is a simple but profound truth. The Product Owner identifies strategies to add the most value to the product.

Mary took into consideration all participants opinions and questions.
The class was informative, and the instructor knew the material. Mary took into consideration all participants opinions and questions. The class not only reviewed Scrum but incorporated aspects of Kanban and when these aspects should be used. I learned about different charts that can be used to explain to leadership how the Agile team works and why it is advantageous to use Scrum with Kanban. - Anthony.
